Due to suffocation, Liu Han’s face turned red and purple, and his eyes rolled up constantly.
His survival instinct was triggered to the highest point. Liu Han grabbed a stone embedded in the soil with his left hand and smashed his right hand with it. His white and delicate hand immediately became a bloody mess.
Chu Huai rushed up and used his leg to hold down Liu Han’s writhing body, and broke his right hand that was trying to kill him.
Liu Han, now restrained, suddenly changed his voice. It became rough and harsh, full of cold resentment: “This is what he owes me!”
A savage expression appeared on his previously gentle face, and his eyes were almost entirely white as he stared at Chu Huai.
In an instant, however, Liu Han began to weep in despair: “I’m innocent…brother…”
It was as if a ghost had possessed him.
“Liu Han” sneered: “Innocent?!”
Liu Han clenched Chu Huai’s hand tightly: “Save me… save me…”
Unexpectedly, the hand that was squeezing Liu Han’s neck suddenly grew thin, long, and sharp nails. The nails gradually embedded themselves into Liu Han’s white and fragile neck, and blood flowed from the gaps between them.
Chu Huai couldn’t afford to think too much at this point. He quickly twisted Liu Han’s neck to the side, away from his right hand, and then stepped on his right wrist. He pulled out a knife he carried with him and quickly and accurately stabbed it into the palm of Liu Han’s hand!
“Ah!” The howl of the fierce ghost was full of pain and agony.
Liu Han’s right hand, which had grown sharp claws, was deeply nailed into the soil and still wriggled and twisted, like a dying worm.
The little black cat immediately walked to the right side of Liu Han’s hand and pressed the meat pad of its paw against the palm of Liu Han’s hand.
Chu Huai was helpless: “Stop messing around.”
The little black cat ignored him, carefully licked its paws clean, and then, in the stunned gaze of Chu Huai, pierced its claw tips into Liu Han’s fingers.
Chu Huai was confused: “What are you doing?”
The little black cat did the same thing again, puncturing all five of Liu Han’s fingers.
Black blood beads emerged, growing bigger on Liu Han’s fingertips, and Liu Han’s screams gradually weakened, his voice no longer sharp and piercing.
Chu Huai finally reacted, using the method of piercing his fingers to produce an acupuncture point that temporarily revives a person’s soul and drives away evil spirits.
“You even know how to lick your paws for disinfection…” Chu Huai was completely impressed by the little black cat.
Liu Han’s eyes gradually cleared, but he was in great pain, covered in a cold sweat and breathing heavily, his chest heaving with every breath.
The intense pain spread from the palm of his hand and swept through his whole body, causing him to convulse.
Chu Huai had been calling out to him nervously.
Liu Han finally recovered, and despite the pain, he carefully removed the blade from the soil with his other undamaged hand. Chu Huai supported him and said: “Let’s go back immediately.”
Liu Han walked laboriously and said: “Thanks, Chu Huai.”
The words of gratitude were too superficial, and in that situation, Liu Han couldn’t even imagine that Chu Huai would actually risk his life to save him, considering the ghost possessing him could kill Chu Huai.
At that moment of despair, he had miraculously survived.
“It’s not me, he saved you.” Chu Huai pointed to the little guy on his shoulder.
Liu Han was stunned for a moment: “Ah?”
Back in the cabin, when Song Qing saw Liu Han bleeding, her eyes flickered unconsciously.
“What happened to him?!” Song Qing asked anxiously, trying to conceal her concern.
“He’s possessed by a ghost.” Chu Huai explained briefly, and with Liu Han’s guidance, he helped him treat his wound and bandage it. Liu Han was in so much pain that he couldn’t speak.
After finishing, in order to distract himself, Liu Han voluntarily confessed to the two of them: “I have a twin brother who has always had poor grades. My parents wanted a successful son, so they put all their hopes on me. I’m basically a ‘Phoenix Man’.”
Liu Han chuckled self-deprecatingly: “My parents placed all their hopes on me, so my brother dropped out of middle school and was forced to work to earn money, and then…”
Chu Huai nodded: “Your brother spoke to us before in your voice.”
Liu Han was surprised and then smiled bitterly.
Song Qing angrily exclaimed: “What does his accidental death have to do with you? He had no obligation to support you financially, that was your parents’ responsibility! If he couldn’t handle it, he could have just left and not burdened you! He was just blaming you for his own inability to fight back.”
Liu Han lowered his gaze and said: “Actually, I have always accepted it with a clear conscience. I thought that once I learned enough and earned money through my knowledge, I could help him in return. But…”
Liu Han’s voice trailed off, and he became emotional again. His complexion turned ashen, and he showed signs of self-blame and despair. “I really didn’t expect him to die… One life, just gone like that, turned into a pile of flesh and bones…”
He remembered that he was in the lab at the time, suddenly feeling a palpitation in his heart. Then he received a call from the construction site, rushed over, and saw his brother crushed under the heavy machinery. The man who looked exactly like him was turned into a pile of blood and bone fragments.

Some of the truth began to surface, but the situation became increasingly confusing.
For the first three days, there was no ghost possession, and Little Guanyin only hindered and attacked the task performers physically. But on the fourth day…
Chu Huai was lost in thought. Could it be that Little Guanyin’s abilities… have been unlocked with time?
The real ghost… was about to appear?
When he went out last night, he found that the villagers’ fighting spirit was not strong at all. Little Guanyin didn’t expect these puppets to kill them. She must have another method…
So the villagers attacking Zhou Yuan’s family was more like a way to disrupt their rhythm and tire them out.
Liu Han was taken aback and began to try to remember.
The time goes back to last night.
Song Qing got up to pee and accidentally stepped on Liu Han’s clothes. Liu Han was already sleeping lightly and woke up immediately.
Song Qing forgot to close the door when he went out, and the night wind in the mountains was cold and bone-chilling, like a swarm of ants biting at people’s skin, causing intense pain.
Liu Han’s drowsiness dissipated immediately, and he felt his scalp tingle and his heart race. He quickly scanned his surroundings and saw that Sun Jiamu was sleeping against the wall, seemingly trapped in a terrifying nightmare. His lips were moving, as if he was arguing with someone, muttering broken phrases every now and then.
“I didn’t push you on purpose…”
“I’m not wrong…”
“You deserve to die, die!”
“Hahaha! Drowned!”
Liu Han found it disturbing and quickly pulled back, not wanting to pry into others’ secrets, but suddenly realized that Chu Huai, who was lying in the corner, was gone!
Liu Han was suddenly alarmed and felt like he was in a freezing abyss.
He sat up, hugged himself tightly, and waited for a long time, but still no sign of Song Qing’s return. He became increasingly anxious.
In the end, Liu Han couldn’t take it anymore and tried to stand up to wake up Sun Jiamu, but was tripped by a water bottle at his feet and ended up with his hands on the ground.
His hands were wet, and there was a dark puddle on the ground.
Liu Han didn’t pay attention, thinking it was water spilled from the bottle, until he groped around on the ground to find a support to get up, and suddenly touched… a piece of broken bone.
Liu Han was immediately frightened out of his wits. He was a firm atheist, but began to recite “Amitabha Buddha.”
Liu Han comforted himself that it might be chicken and duck bones left behind by the villagers who had lived here before, and finally managed to climb up, but because his mind was unsettled, he lost his balance and fell again. This time… he really touched a broken finger.
The finger was only in two pieces, with the top piece, including the nail, missing.
Liu Han was immediately scared out of his mind. It was his brother’s little finger! His brother had lost the top of his little finger a few years ago due to a work injury…
“Brother Sun!” Liu Han shouted in despair, but Sun Jiamu showed no signs of waking up. That nightmare came at just the right time as if it had been arranged in advance, and Little Guanyin deliberately cut off all his escape routes…
The wall behind him began to seep blood, and the crimson blood flowed out through the gaps in the red bricks, forming a suffocating pattern on the wall.
Liu Han gradually lost consciousness.
After listening to Liu Han’s recollection, Chu Huai propped his chin with one hand, seemingly contemplating something.
Song Qing was overjoyed that Liu Han had survived and sincerely said: “Thank goodness you’re alive, otherwise…otherwise, I would be dead too.”
She still needed Liu Han’s help to deliver her child.
“Thanks to Brother Chu,” Liu Han said.
Song Qing absentmindedly responded, suddenly realizing something and was greatly shocked.
It was obvious that Little Guanyin Niangniang’s goal was to get rid of her fate of giving birth to a Jade Girl by going after Liu Han. If Liu Han died, she would definitely not be able to avoid it…
Chu Huai also realized this and rubbed his forehead: “We need to act quickly. If there is one accident, there will surely be a second.”
Chu Huai looked at Liu Han: “Your initial identity when entering the instance is a doctor who looks after the villagers’ illnesses in Little Guanyin Village. Your family should have basic medical supplies, including anesthetics?”
Liu Han nodded.
Chu Huai thought for a moment: “Then we’ll avoid the villagers’ attacks and smoothly return to your house. What is the possibility of you taking out the child while ensuring Song Qing’s survival?”
“With your hand injured,” he added helplessly.
Song Qing’s face turned pale, but she still listened attentively, waiting for her verdict.
She smiled and eased the heavy atmosphere, jokingly adding: “In my weakened state of physical and mental exhaustion.”
Liu Han smiled wryly: “It’s very low, but not impossible.”
Having already had an answer in mind, Song Qing still struggled for a moment.
She laughed optimistically: “You play the role of a divine doctor, and I’ll be your guinea pig. If I die, it’s not a loss, but if I survive, it’s a big gain. Don’t worry, even if I die, I won’t become a ghost and come back to kill you. Maybe I can even protect you guys.”
Liu Han comforted her: “There are actually many successful cases of abdominal surgery in ancient books…”
“You don’t really need to be so hesitant. According to this situation, I will definitely die within two or three days, no matter what,” Song Qing glanced at Chu Huai, who seemed absent-minded: “I want to give it a try.”
“I’ve been treating hospitals as my home for these years and I’m not really afraid of pain anymore.”
Suddenly, footsteps could be heard outside, and Sun Jiamu had returned.
Sun Jiamu came in and saw Liu Han’s hand bandaged up, frowning: “What happened?!”
“Something unexpected happened,” Chu Huai said casually. “Did you find anything?”
Sun Jiamu sneered: “Why should I tell you? Let’s make a trade.”
Sun Jiamu picked up the dry food on the table and took a vicious bite, then gulped down some water.
Chu Huai chuckled: “You’re eating and drinking what I prepared, and you’re asking for a trade?”
Sun Jiamu’s face turned red, then he sneered and spat out what was in his mouth onto the ground.
Chu Huai said: “If you’re brave enough, you can leave alone. No one’s stopping you.”
Sun Jiamu’s expression turned vicious, and he clenched his hand tightly in his sleeve. He wasn’t stupid. Going off alone at this point was as good as seeking death. Chu Huai only dared to force him because he was confident.
Sun Jiamu left in a rage.
Chu Huai stood by the door, gently stroking the cat and looking down with a slight smile. He murmured: “I gave you a chance, but you didn’t take it…”
He watched Sun Jiamu’s departing figure and laughed.
Don’t blame him then.
He had originally been thinking about the Night Pearl, but now he had to deal with this time bomb first.
The Night Pearl would shine and be easily discovered by the villagers. Carrying it around was a burden, so when Chu Huai came back last night, he buried it near the hut for the time being.
“Liu Han,” Chu Huai suddenly spoke.
Liu Han quickly sat up and asked: “What’s up, Chu Huai?”
“Don’t be nervous,” Chu Huai said meaningfully. “Did Sun Jiamu’s muttering imply that he pushed someone into the water and drowned them?”
At night, Sun Jiamu was not there.
Chu Huai guessed that he didn’t dare to spend the night outside alone. He asked Song Qing and Liu Han, who were silently munching on dry food, for a favor. “Help me out,” he said.
Song Qing and Liu Han were taken aback, but they nodded without hesitation.
Chu Huai lowered his eyes and said: “I’ll go out later. When Sun Jiamu comes back, pretend to be leaving. If he asks, say that I found something by the river and you led him over. That way, he won’t come here himself.”
Song Qing was taken aback, her eyes flickered, and she discreetly pursed her lips, softly responding: “Okay.”
Liu Han was stunned: “Brother Chu, are you really going to…”
Song Qing interrupted him and avoided Chu Huai’s gaze, persuading Liu Han: “Whatever Brother Chu says, we’ll do it.”
“Is he going to harm us or something?” Song Qing asked.
Liu Han shook his head vigorously: “How is that possible?! He saved my life!”
“Then why did you talk so much?” Song Qing retorted.
Song Qing’s personality became more cheerful.
As they were leaving, Chu Huai stopped Song Qing and looked at her for a while: “Do you know something?”
Song Qing turned pale, then shook her head repeatedly: “I… I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
Chu Huai confirmed his suspicion and remained silent for a while before sincerely saying: “Thank you.”
After he finished speaking, he left.
Once Chu Huai was far away, Song Qing looked down at the food debris vomited by Sun Jiamu on the ground and sneered.
Some people should die; they lived until now only because of pure luck.
Chu Huai happily played with the cat by the river.
The sky was densely covered with dark clouds, and it was about to rain.
Chu Huai laughed and said to himself: “Fortunately, ‘he’ isn’t here.” Otherwise, if he saw me doing this kind of thing, he would definitely think I’m scary.
The little black cat trembled imperceptibly.
Not long after, Sun Jiamu arrived.
“Did you find anything?” Sun Jiamu impatiently approached and asked.
Chu Huai didn’t speak and continued to play with the cat.
Sun Jiamu turned around and found that the two who said they would come together were gone, and suspicion arose in his heart.
“Where are they?” Sun Jiamu frowned.
Chu Huai paid no attention.
“I’m asking you a question, are you mute?” Sun Jiamu was annoyed: “Did you find anything?”
Chu Huaifei put down the cat and grinned lazily at him: “Do you know that you’re very annoying?”
Sun Jiamu’s face suddenly darkened: “What do you mean?”
Chu Huaifei walked towards him, and Sun Jiamu subconsciously felt a little panicked, but then he felt that this panic was unreasonable. Although Chu Huaifei was taller than him, he definitely didn’t have an advantage in physical strength, so he posed no threat to him.
“Nothing found.” Chu Huaifei shrugged indifferently.
Sun Jiamu was stunned for a second, finally reacting and angrily asking: “Are you playing me?!”
He didn’t believe that Chu Huaifei would do such a boring thing.
“You tricked me to come here…what’s the purpose?!” Sun Jiamu involuntarily took a step back.
Something faintly flashed in his mind, but he couldn’t grasp it.
The person in front of him, Chu Huaifei, was obviously gentle, elegant, harmless and charming, but Sun Jiamu felt a chill in his heart.
Chu Huai gave an ambiguous answer: “To teach you a lesson.”
Sun Jiamu was stunned for a moment, and then as if he heard a great joke, sneered: “Can you beat me?”
Chu Huaifei was too lazy to deal with him, caught him off guard, and pushed Sun Jiamu with extreme agility.
Sun Jiamu was already by the river, and with a stumble, half of his foot fell into the water. In an instant, he became angry. When had he ever been so embarrassed?
Sun Jiamu sneered as he climbed up: “So you want to drown me like this? I know how to swim!”
“Wanted to kill you? You got the wrong idea,” Chu Huaifei laughed, and said seriously: “I don’t want to get dirty.”
He clapped his hands, looking like he had accomplished a great feat, then picked up the cat blinking next to him and turned around to leave.
“Chu Huai, help me. Something seems to have tangled on my foot, I can’t move,” Sun Jiamu’s voice trembled.
Chu Huai paused for a moment when he heard this, with a slight smirk on his face.
He walked back and, in the hopeful gaze of Sun Jiamu, pushed him lightly.
Completely pushing him into the water.
The water was clear and green, and through the layers of heavy, oppressive water, Chu Huai saw a face exactly like Sun Jiamu’s, except that the face was pale and swollen.
